What Is ATERYX? - Business Answer
- Business Answer:
- Alteryx is a platform that allows companies to answer business questions quickly and
efficiently.
- The platform can be used as a major building block in a digital transformation or automation
initiative. Alteryx allows teams to build processes in a more efficient, repeatable, less error-
prone, and less risky way. Unlike many tools, Alteryx is easy for business users without IT
background to use. In our experience, companies who embrace Alteryx have higher
employee engagement and more throughput from their analysts in every department than
companies that do not. We think of Alteryx like a power saw for teams that have always
used hand saws.
- Technical Answer:
- Alteryx is a software solution that allows users to quickly access, manipulate, analyze and
output data. This can be done in a one-off manner or, more commonly, the process (called a
workflow) is something people use on a recurring (daily, weekly, monthly) basis.
- The way Alteryx builds workflows becomes a form of process documentation allowing users
to see, collaborate on, support, and enhance the process. Data can be read and written to
files, databases and APIs. Alteryx also comes with functionality that enables predictive
analytics and geospatial analysis.
